I hope that anyone encountering this dog reports the incident to the proper authorities.  If the sheriff/police respond enough times maybe the dog's owner will get the message.  Could spare someone else or yourself from serious injury.

"To each his own."  A good saying.

I rode casually for years without a computer.  Finally got one and was surprised how fast the miles added up.  Measuring and logging mileage, avg speed, calories, etc. has helped make me a much better cyclist.  I like setting and aspiring to achieve goals, in my bicycling and life overall.  Every day there is a to do list on my desk.  Classic type A, senility or a combination I suppose.  Oh well, at least I don't have to take BP medication....yet.

Let's hope for an early spring in 2012.

Mike, be sure to post your Dec 31 total!

Way to go Angel, Patrick & Denny.


Me, I'm done for the year....7027 miles.  It's gonna be a LONG winter.

Question....Do miles on the trainer count?  I have never ridden a trainer, but I am going to participate in the spin class at Summit City in Jan and Feb.  Hey, they are miles on the bike right?

Touring / 2011 Mileage-What is yours?

Seems like this time of year there is nothing ever on the Forum.  I visit other bike club websites and many have a "mileage" thread, some even list mileages in their newsletter.  Having a degree/career in accounting, I find numbers very interesting.  Many cyclists are unconcerned with miles and I can understand that.  But I often wonder how the many miles are achieved by the many riders that are so much stronger than myself.

So feel free to post your 2011 mileage if you so desire............

+1.

I cannot think of a better ride that I have been on in the past three years.  Great day, great food, great tailwind coming back.  Any way to bottle all of that?
